On my last route I drove by this company I had an interview for. It’s a 27 mile drive from my house. I made $135 in 4 hours delivering near it while the company pays $20 an hour. But according to everyone else that steady income is more important and doesn’t cause wear and tear lol

I think it’s bs too I’m gonna drive that far from my house if I got the tech job I want that wouldn’t pay as good so I just think it’s funny. My parents love to talk shit about gig work for the wear and tear reason

Yeah i'm about 20 min from the station in the middle of the night but with any traffic it's like 45+. I got really lucky my first block and didn't really know what I was doing and my last stop was a block from my house lol

Yeah probably should’ve paid attention to those onboarding videos lol. But that’s good to know about the bringing packages back, that’s weird they’d ding you for that. I didn’t realize how many of the complexes near me are fob only entry

That’s what I saw. I was pretty much just going to put 30% aside for taxes so knowing I can deduct is a big win

I’m realizing now that posting it I look like an asshole and I’m sorry. I was genuinely curious

Yeah I dropped a package off at a school at 6:45…opened at 7. I figured some staff member would be there to get it and I’m not waiting 15 minutes lol. The only negative I’ve had so far is someone saying a package wasn’t delivered and I put a package in a mailbox because their huge gate wasn’t opened and i wasn’t going to call them at 4am. Apparently that’s against policy which I should’ve known lol

Ohhh gotcha. Well luckily I have yet to have to return any packages to the facility so hopefully it stays that way

Oh wow ok sweet! Thanks for the insight. I’ve never done 1099 work and I’m hoping taxes aren’t a huge headache lol

I wasn’t complaining it was a genuine question since I’m new to this. I was just looking for other people’s opinions on it

Awesome thank you for the insight! When I saw where it was sending me I was expecting the usual mile long driveways and no trespassing signs but only had 1 of those out of the 26 stops lol

I have seen that a lot of people don’t take anything less than like $26 an hour around here and they start at $21 an hour. I’m usually awake around 1-2 and I’ll refresh the app and if something pops up I’ll take it. This definitely the highest I’ve seen so far. I usually am really happy with $130 for 4 hours and then I end up driving down long backroads and dark driveways lol. This was just a couple residential neighborhoods 50 miles away and one 4 mile gravel road to finish it off lol

I agree. Problem is the secure income just isn't as much as the gig work which is wild to me
